It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dustin D. Cody, who left us on Monday, November 17, 2025, at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, at the age of 44. Dustin was born on Friday, August 7, 1981, in Kingman, Arizona, the son of Michael Cody and Patricia Goss.
Dustin was a dedicated and hardworking individual, the proud owner and operator of All Pro Exteriors. His entrepreneurial spirit was matched by his passion for life and his deep love for his family. He is survived by his loving mother, Patricia Goss, and his beloved daughter, Mila Cody, both of Centralia. He also leaves behind his fiancée, Taylor Rogers, and her two daughters, Maddison and Morgan, who resided with him in Centralia.
His family, including his brother, Steven Cody and his wife Ginger, and his sister, Mistie Medina, along with his three nephews, Trevin Medina, Micah Cody, and Josiah Cody, will miss him dearly. Dustin is also fondly remembered by several aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Dustin was preceded in death by his father, Michael Cody, his grandparents, Fred and Barb Cody, and Dale Goss and Jane Goss Aaron, as well as his niece, Natalie Medina.
A lifelong sports enthusiast, Dustin was an avid fan of the Chicago Bears and the St. Louis Cardinals, and he never missed a chance to catch a UFC fight. He had a green thumb and found great joy in gardening and spending time outdoors. Above all, Dustin cherished moments spent with his daughter, Mila, and his extended family. Dustin’s legacy will endure in the hearts of all who knew him, and his spirit will live on in the love and memories he leaves behind.
In honor of Dustin’s life, a visitation will be held on Friday, November 21, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Sutherland-Garnier Funeral Home in Centralia.
